    When I try to copy files from Linux Mint 21.3 (Ubuntu 22.04)
    to my Xioumi M9 cellphone it returns this error message:

    "libmtp error: Could not send object info."

    The mtp files installed on Linux are:

    libmtp-common
    libmtp-runtime
    libmtpg
    libnet-smtp-ssl-perl

    It worked a month ago (?)

    Don't use Linux, but do remember in Android settings there was a choice
    of how the USB port in the phone gets used. For me, the nav path is:

    Android settings -> General -> Developer Options (*) -> Select USB Configuration. Set to MTP mode.

    (*) You have to first enable Developer options.

    You'd think this setting wouldn't change in a month, but I have seen a
    prompt asking me for the USB mode, so it's possible a user changed the
    setting accidentally.

    Any suggestions?

    On occasion I could not fetch files from the phone using Thunar.
    Typically I then try with Nautilus or Dolphin, and it works.

    Once none worked. Turned out that the usb connection had been captured
    by shotwell, who thought it had to handle the camera.

    I never tried the CLI, no reason to.


    If you think the problem is on the Linux side of things, you should have crossposted to Linux groups.

    I had the opposite problem - I was trying to import photos into digiKam and some file manager (Dolphin?) had already grabbed the USB session.

    Turned out that I needed to kill 'kiod5' which was the process that grabbed
    the port, and then digiKam worked.
